FPGA now shown to be working in novlio branch. I've copied the fix back
to HEAD but not yet fought the Xilinx tools to generate corresponding
fpga.bin and test it.

Note that if upgrading existing boards it's very important to update
the FPGA image first, then the bootloader. If you do it the other way
round over this particular transition then the bootloader hangs
looking for NAND forever, before you can upload anything new. That
then becomes a 'JTAG moment'.

So the correct code to use currently is the bootloader and fpga.bin
from the novlio branch. Hopefully head will be shown to be working too
imminently.
